Care and Protection

We have extensive experience in the Children’s Court. In Newcastle that Court is located at Broadmeadow a short walk from Broadmeadow Railway Station.

We appear in matters:

Involving juveniles who have been charged by the Police

Children who have been removed by Community Services (formerly Docs)

Care & Protection

This is a specialised area that involves matters where Community Services (formerly DOCS), have removed your child or children. These matters typically occur in the Children’s Court, and on Appeal in the District Court. We act for parents, grandparents, other relatives of children who have been removed, carers and children. In some cases you will be able to apply for Legal Aid through our Office.
